SUMMARY:National Youth Brass Band of America Inaugural Concert
DESCRIPTION:The newly founded National Youth Brass Band of America (NYBBA) is excited to announce the launch of its inaugural course for 2019.

Founder and Artistic Director Helen Harrelson states “This is an exciting time for the youth movement in the US. We have such a strong team invested in the success and development of this project and we are beyond thrilled to welcome Professor King as Founding Musical Director. \nHe brings with him an immense amount of knowledge\, experience and enthusiasm that will be fun\, inspirational and challenging for the students.” The course\, which aims to put the emphasis on the whole student experience\, will provide the best possible training within the genre as well as enhancing each students’ vision and awareness of both the US and international brass band movements. Helen states that “It will also be a great opportunity to create a cohesive network to support future youth development and collaboration between established and newly formed organizations.” \nThe inaugural course will take place on the campus of Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph\, Missouri on June 16-22\, 2019\, and will be open to brass and percussion musicians ages 23 and under. \nThe Inaugural Concert will take place on June 22\, 2019 at 2:30 PM in MWSU’s Potter Hall Theatre.
